Dunn getting good pitches to hit off of Rhodes.

hawk needs to let go of the 16k sq ft house thing

At least he let go of "Grand Canyon" for Dunn. Course, Dunn hasn't been so grand.

Wow, Dunn taking some VERY close pitches there...

At least we have speed on the bases. LOL.

including strike 3

RIOS!!!

Rios! So Dunn has a good at bat against a lefty, and Rios has a clutch 2 out hit on the road. I've seen it all!

Huge at bat for AJ here

a simple base hit blows it open

of course.

Sale just isn't fooling hitters. AJP kept calling for fastballs, even though you could see Moreland beginning to time him. I never would have thought I'd say this last year, but I think Sale has all the makings of a bust of a draft pick. His arm angle is terrible for facing righties.

 

Hate to say it but I have had that bad feeling myself.

 

 

Ohman can fill whatever role Sale had. Predictably, long relief is a concern. Humber will probably be that guy soon.

 

I like that idea. I like it A LOT.

wow

If he keeps hanging that pitch, we're going to be tied soon. Need a 6-4-3 here!

How does that happen?!!

what's left to say about Tony Pena? don't make me post his stats over his last 10 outings, it's absolutely NOT major league pitching stats, it's more like what it would be like if I tried pitching tomorrow with my left hand

 

what's left for this organization to see from him? he's done, period, STOP USING HIM.

 

for the love of god, stop using him.

His mechanics are off right now.

Whew, nice reaction time by Alexei. Crain continues to throw every pitch up in the zone. I can guarantee that if the Sox were up, we would have been doubled up.

Seriously. The only thing he can do it throw the ball over 90 mph. That's the only difference between him and most of the fans in the stands. May as well dump him and bring up Harrell or something.

I don't think Sale's arm angle is the problem. He can't get the breaking ball over with any consistency.

If Alexei had caught that on the heal of his mitt, his hand would be shattered. That was a absolute bullet,

But the concern is that righties can see that slider coming all the way. He used his change-up a lot more effectively last year.

Don't know much about pitching mechanics. Are bad arm angle & lack of curves for strike mutually exclusive?

he gave up a run for an out in that inning.

 

3 outs, 3 runs.

 

and trust me, it doesn't 'seem' like that always happens when he comes in, it DOES happen when he comes in

Kept it 7-5, good job Crain
